Besides traditional martial arts, this world has scholars who cultivate literary talent, revere Confucius, and are known as literary cultivators!
Literary cultivators wield the brush in their hands to measure all the affairs of the world! Those whose literary talent reaches its peak can send it soaring into the heavens, driving away even ghosts and gods!
The literary path has five realms: Talent Leaking Out, Talent Surpassing Eight Scholars, Talent Like a Rainbow, Talent Filling the Heavens, and Talent Reaching the Sky!
The first two realms are collectively called Literary Cultivators. The last three are respectively known as Literary Masters, Great Scholars, and Literary Sages!
Supernatural arts of the literary path embody law and reason. Law is the rules of composition, while reason is the principles of the Way. Those who understand the laws and grasp the principles can enter the Way!
As one sage said, supernatural arts of the literary path begin with poetry, while the Six Arts of the Nobleman reveal their might!
The Six Arts are poetry, verse, music, go, calligraphy, and painting.
The art of music attacks with melodies, killing without a trace.
Go is the most lethal of the Six Arts. When the board is set, killing intent emerges. When a stone is placed, life and death are decided!
The art of calligraphy is the art of writing. Every stroke is a weapon!
Paint a tiger, and it roars. Paint a dragon, and it cries out. Paint mountains, rivers, the sun, and the moon, and their vast power will manifest!
After ten years of diligent study, when one's literary energy finally appears, one reaches the threshold of the Innate Realm!
Great Scholars can even make their words become law, remain untouched by all arts, and wield the unfathomable powers of the literary path!
